Mixed Reviews for the Internet on Its First Presidential Election
New York Times 11/7/1996
Internet use in general was not up much more than usual on election night. However, the most well-known sites for election coverage were completely swamped, and users experienced delays getting information. MSNBC was so busy it was impossible to get through. PoliticsNow was knocked offline for a little bit. CNN's site had huge delays, and the NYT's site was infested with hackers.
